Valentine Day Gift Idea – Heart Mug.
Love.
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling like the world could use a little more love these days.
I’ll be honest, my heart has been feeling a bit raw these past few weeks. And I’ve been having a hard time getting my heart into crafting and decorating as the things seem to blow up left and right around me.
But I’ve come to realize I need to add beauty back into my life. To open my heart …
and let creating be a much needed diversion and distraction.
So I’m starting with baby steps. With a dollar store mug and Sharpie paint pens …

Attach heart sticker to mug. Using paint pens (I used three colors) start adding dots around the sticker. Concentrate them more densely closer to the sticker and then space out as move farther away.
Once dry, remove sticker.
Let dry overnight. To set paint, bake in oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Make sure you put the mug in the cold oven and then turn on. Then let mug stay in oven to cool off after you turn off the oven.
For a Valentine’s Day gift idea (or even a teacher’s gift idea) add a little packet of hot cocoa and mini marshmallows.
And that’s it!
Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends! And I promise to create more …
and stress less!

Oh! I love that idea with the cup. so clever! I know the feeling when you wax and wane. But I always look forward to your posts.
Thank you so much! I’m going to try and be a little more waxing and a little less waning. 🙂
Very cute! I am finding that I’m making stuff more than ever…perhaps as a response to all the other stuff that’s going on. When I make something, I feel like it’s not going to get “undone” no matter what other crazy stuff occurs.
Thank-you for this adorable and easy craft. I have never seen Sharpie paint pens, but I am going to search for them right now! I foresee lots of projects with my Grandson and Sharpie paint pens. Happy Valentine’s Day to you with LOVE!!
Thank you! And it would be a great project for the grandkids! They can even decorate their own cereal bowls and plates! 🙂
Thank You Hope your heart feels better soon ! Love and Prayers coming your Way from Kansas !
